Thanksgiving Turkey Table Cards Tutorial

This craft is a fun way to engage kids for a couple of days this November 😉 Have them collect about two dozen pretty leaves from the yard and press them in a heavy book for at least 24 hours. When the leaves are nice and dry, they can be made into these adorable table cards below 😉

Arrange and glue an odd number of leaves {like 3 or 5} in a fan-like shape on a folded rectangular shape of card stock.

Step 2

Cut a leaf in half for the turkey’s body and glue on top of the other leaves. Use some colorful acrylic paint to add details such as white eyes, a beak and feather colors.

Step 3

Use black paint to add the turkey’s pupils, legs and feet. Let dry.

Step 4

Add any additional information {like a name or decoration} to your table card with markers. If you wish, list all the things that make you thankful for that person inside the table card.

Step 5

Here are some other ideas to keep the kiddos busy with leaf crafting over the Thanksgiving holiday!!

Have a wonderful holiday!
